<![CDATA[Background: Indonesia is highly prone to disasters, and universities have a strategic role in strengthening disaster preparedness through healthy campus initiatives. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between disaster knowledge, physical environmental health, community involvement, and disaster preparedness among the academic community of the Faculty of Public Health, Tadulako University. Methods: A mixed-method sequential explanatory design was applied, involving 294 respondents consisting of students, lecturers, and administrative staff. Quantitative data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed with Chi-Square tests, while qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews and analyzed thematically using NVivo. Results: The findings revealed significant associations between disaster knowledge (p = 0.000), physical environmental health (p = 0.000), and community involvement (p = 0.000) with disaster preparedness. Respondents with better knowledge, supportive environments, and active community participation showed higher preparedness levels. Conclusions: Disaster preparedness is influenced by individual, environmental, and social factors, emphasizing the importance of integrating disaster education, resilient infrastructure, and collective engagement into healthy campus programs. Strengthening these aspects is essential to build disaster-resilient campuses, and further studies should develop models integrating the Healthy Campus Framework with the Disaster Preparedness Cycle.]]>
